Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase gene ( LgUGPase ) was identified from Larix gmelinii, and its function in enhancing vegetative growth and cellulose biosynthesis was confirmed by analyzing transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana overexpressed LgUGPase . UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase), an important regulatory enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism, catalyzes the reversible production of glucose 1-phosphate...
